     I am trying to hook up an apple laser writer to my Personal IRIS. I have
a cable made up and I can cp postscript_file /dev/ttyd2 and get the printout.
However, I initially want to set up the printer as my default printer so I just
need lp to print. The long range plan is to try to make the spool/print service
work from a PC running FTP software's version of PCnfs. Does anyone have the
proper filters for doing this ?? How can I set it up to install properly from
the system visual administration tools ?? ( I love 'em, but its annoying when
they are incomplete ).
        The main thing I want from the script, apart from allowing me to use lp
, is that it autodetects postscript and ascii files and prints both correctly.
If replies are mailed to me directly, I will post the results once I have a
working configuration.
       Thanks for your help.                                Regards,
                                                            Len Zaifman
